The John Templeton Foundation, in collaboration with the Templeton World Charity Foundation and the Templeton Religion Trust, announced today, Thursday, April 10, 2025, that the recipient of the 2025 Templeton Prize is His All-Holiness, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
On January 19 the Greek Orthodox Church celebrates the Feast Day of Agios Makarios the Great.
The commemoration of the Nativity and Baptism of our Lord and the events related to them developed over time in the life and practice of the Church. Originally celebrated together on the same day, their celebrations—and the sequence of 12 days in between them—offer the faithful a festal period of great joy.
